A screenshot of an e-mail I've received with the following text: Dear Author, Journal of Electronics and Information Technology Scopus Active and indexed Open Access and Peer Reviewed Journal Index with Scopus, Citation Index, Google Scholar & many more Journal : https://journaleit.org/ Article submission Mail : removed@gmail.com Thank you,
Not even bothering to write full sentences is a new level of laziness, even for a predatory journal. I'm wondering if anyone actually falls for this?

Just like the infamous “Nigerian prince” scam, #PredatoryJournal solicitation emails count on quantity, because it only takes a few unsuspecting researchers to fall for the trap.
Part 1 of our new blog series breaks down a recent solicitation email and highlights the red flags. #ScholComm
Proofreading much? ”In this instance, we need your article to publish this issue. Hence let us know your time feasibility for manuscript submission?
Anticipate hearing from you.“ #predatoryjournal #academicspam

#predatoryjournal follow-up emails both amuse and annoy me.
Today's email: You failed to receive this [2 month old] message, or intentionally you are not responding...
2 months ago: We genuinely emailed you quite a lot of times but received no response, so we'd like to try once more....
#PredatoryJournal is a complex issue. I consider that we should focus on two things: 1. Support researchers before they submit a Paper, 2. Reform #ResearchAssessment
I'm against generalizations in this subject.
starting with revamping my #predatoryjournal talk and i'm curious - any #medlibs that want to share if and how their organisation deals with these journals? do you use blacklists or check where your researchers publish?
on that note, is MDPI a predatory editor? #predatoryjournal

Dear #predatoryJournal your understanding is deficient
"The Journal … aims to showcase innovative and cutting-edge research in all areas of Orthopaedics. We believe that your work aligns perfectly with our journal's scope, …" -- Well, in this case your belief is not informed by facts. #academicspam #predatoryjournal
We talk a lot about predatory journals, but I just encountered my first PREDATORY PODCAST!🚨 www.scipod.global
They reach out, set up a meeting, then—when you ask about their economic model—you realize they want £1000 for a 10-min recorded podcast. That’s here you run away.

„ (…) is a multidisciplinary, double-blind peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality research on both theoretical and practical aspects of sound and vibration.“ — You cannot be serious? Should I write an essay on the cultural
weight of ”twist & shout“? #predatoryjournal
Someone saw my twitter handle
#DoctorDoctor #PredatoryJournal
Came across an insightful paper yesterday. Its conclusion had multiple impactful takeaways, and the generalizability needs more exploration. It inspired me to write a commentary, but the paper’s publication in a #predatoryJournal stopped me—Always be cautious where you publish! #AcademicIntegrity
Today’s invite #predatoryjournal
Erm. No thanks. That’s not me!!
What a tempting offer:“Sumbit Artіϲlеs/Αbstrаϲts and Become Еԁitοrial Βοаrd ΜеmЬеrs or Rеviеԝers“. I would like to become 3 editorial board members. Where do I sumbit? #academicspam #predatoryjournal

For those receiving a lot of #predatoryjournal #spam, a long time ago Robin N Kok and I created an Outlook list with lots of those domains linked. Any email from such domain automatically goes in the Junk Email, and you can add to it.

It the lazy spammers again writing to me as ”Dear Dr. [Name]“… ”May I kindly know the possible date to submit your nice contribution?“ weeell, I think around never, ”Anna“ #academicspam #predatoryjournal
You know it's a good journal when... #predatoryjournal #academicpublishing
#PredatoryConferences langsam so auf Kaffeefahrtniveau. Wenn ich mich als Keynote Speaker bewerbe, kriege ich 1 Mittagessen und 1 Stadtrundfahrt umsonst. Uuuuund ich darf ein Paper in einem #PredatoryJournal for free veröffentlichen. Ich kann kaum wiederstehen! Engineering oder Entrepreneurship?!?
